Our government is out of control. This seems to be a statement bereft of controversy. All the charts, graphs, and statistics appear to bare out this fact. What no one seems to agree upon is what we ought to do about it. The most prevalent approach amongst activists, at least within the Republican Party, is […]

This is a remarkable story: Major suburban county in Virginia pulls out of its association of counties! Here’s the story from Real Clear Politics! The Goochland County Board of Supervisor (sic) is withdrawing from a state association that supports counties and lobbies on their behalf, saying some of the group’s legislative positions do not reflect […]

I am sick over this whole thing with the judge candidate in Richmond. Delegates I respect and admire greatly led the drive to keep Tracy Thorne-Begland off the General District Court. I understand their reasons – the fear of judicial activism – that is not illegitimate BUT it is unlikely that a court NOT of […]

UPDATE: I noticed that this 2010 post is getting a lot of reads in 2012. We are working on a post to explain the two questions on the ballot for 2012, but the short version is VOTE YES to both. -Editor – 10/16/2012 Virginia voters will be faced with three opportunities to amend the state […]

The opposite of Bad UN law (all together now: “REDUNDANT!”) is any proposal by my former delegate who I helped in several elections when I lived in Prince William County: Del. Bob Marshall. (I must confess that when Bob first ran for delegate in 1991 I supported his opponent in the primary! But I said […]

Brent Budowsky writes this ironically humorous article in The Hill supporting Harry Reid. Budowsky suggests that Theodore Roosevelt would support Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) since he is actually out there in the arena fighting for the right: Roosevelt continued: The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred […]

I do not intend to condone the use or abuse of liquor; I do not drink alcohol in any form. But it is not a governmental function. The ABC stores should be sold and extra revenue raised from the private dealers (with appropriate safety and zoning regulation) applied to essential government needs like education. But […]
